> what, no bathrooms?:)
Many bathrooms, or, in Navy terminology "heads." Each pair of quarters will
share one (sixteen enlisted to a head, four officers to a head). This with
the exception of senior officers, each of whom have private facilities.

Smaller than the Reliant's, actually. Even including Helm and Nav, the only
other stations will be Tactical, Communication, Engineering, Operations, and
Sciences. Well, & the Capt's chair, of course :)

Oy, the money! Well, I'm not planning on building it at all at once. I'll
probably wind up spacing construction over a couple of years, mostly to
assist with mass Bricklink purchases :)

There aren't many sections which will be able to open -- with the exception,
of course, of sections of the ship with exterior doors: i.e., cargo bay,
shuttlebay, airlocks. I was thinking about doing it modular, but I don't
think I have the skill to pull that off, and I'm afraid too many weak points
in the hull could comprimise such a large construction.

I'm going to try and send 'em out to a buddy in CA with a scanner. Mind
you, they're pencil on graph paper, and I have to go back out and flesh 'em
out a bit ... I realized after doing it (assuming each square was 36 square
pegs) that I hadn't accounted for width of Lego bricks, so everything seemed
nice and big and roomy ... and, ooops, those corridors will probably only be
two pegs wide! Grrr.
